Produktbeschreibung
A picaresque odyssey with wit as sharp as a sword and a heart full of curiosity. Peregrine Pickle's adventures spark laughter, misadventure, and a keen eye for social portraiture that still hums with relevance today. The Adventures Of Peregrine Pickle (Vol II) offers a concise, masterfully stitched journey through eighteenth-century London and Georgian Britain, where travel, disguise, and identity collide with class and reputation. Smollett's satire crackles as Peregrine travels, making us laugh at manners while inviting serious reflection on character, fate, and society. This edition highlights the book's blend of escapade and social critique, appealing to readers who relish classic literature and to scholars seeking a vivid window into the era's moral weather. Historically significant as a landmark of early Anglo-American satire, the work speaks to readers of academic study editions and to general lovers of historical fiction alike. It is a bridge between picaresque classics and a sharper, more modern sensibility, offering insights into how reputation can be manufactured and exposed in a world built on appearances. Out of print for decades, this Alpha Editions reissue is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors to rediscover a timeless voyage through travel, intrigue, and a keen-eyed social satire.
